PRIVACY ENFORCER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17918079 titled 'PRIVACY ENFORCER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a data protection broker node and its methods. It explains that the node performs a bootstrap operation to initialize a blockchain and obtain a trusted temporary public identifier for a user. It then receives a request for a new transaction from the user and adds it to the blockchain. The user is authorized to use the trusted identifier to protect their data privacy during transactions.
- A data protection broker node is provided.
- The node performs a bootstrap operation to initialize a blockchain.
- During the bootstrap operation, a trusted temporary public identifier is obtained for the user.
- The node receives a request for a new transaction from the user.
- The new transaction is joined to the blockchain.
- The user is authorized to use the trusted temporary public identifier for privacy protection during their transactions.
Potential Applications
- Data protection and privacy in blockchain-based systems.
- Secure and private transactions involving sensitive user data.
- Identity verification and authorization in decentralized networks.
Problems Solved
- Lack of privacy protection in blockchain transactions.
- Difficulty in securely initializing a blockchain and obtaining trusted identifiers.
- Challenges in authorizing users and protecting their data during transactions.
Benefits
- Enhanced privacy and data protection for users in blockchain networks.
- Secure and trusted initialization of blockchains.
- Simplified authorization process for users.
- Improved trust and security in decentralized systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A data protection broker node and methods are provided. In one embodiment, the data protection broker node is configured to perform a bootstrap operation between a user and the data protection broker node, to initialize a blockchain; as a result of the bootstrap operation, obtain a trusted temporary public identifier identifying the user; receive a request for a new transaction associated with the user and join the new transaction to the blockchain; and authorize the user to use the trusted temporary public identifier to perform a user transaction to protect a privacy of the user's data.
